Unable to assign user to machine in a Horizon pool configured for multiple dedicated assignments.

[jdl242]

Hi. We are unable to assign user to machine in a Horizon pool configured for multiple dedicated assignments. We are on Horizon 7.12 and this is the command we are using to assign desktops:

Set-HVMachine -MachineName $machineName -User $userName

Here is the error that we get:

Exception calling "Machine_Update" with "3" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidRequest ErrorMessage : User field cannot be updated for pools supporting multiple assignments" At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.Hv.Helper\VMware.HV.Helper.psm1:8959 char:8

•    $machine_helper.Machine_Update($services,$item,$updates)

I'm also interested that you fix this.

Same issue in horizon8.1

Was there any solution for this use case? We do also have Pools with "multiple assignments" configured, and are unable to assign user to such machines.

Get-HVMachine -PoolName "pool_clients" -MachineName vdi001 | Set-HVMachine -User "domain\user"
Updating the Machine:  vdi001
